Hi guy's im interested in finding out more about good 70's rock bands i was born in the early 70's so by the time i was old enough to take a interest in music, the 80's had rolled around. Im after music with balls, metal, hard rock, blue's type rock, any suggestions would be appreciated. a good example is a song by a band called...mountain? "mississippi queen" kick ass tunes like that. thanks

Here's some early to mid 70's ROCK stuff not the pop/soul/RB posted above

Look for English bands influenced by the blues: Savoy Brown, Humble Pie, Foghat, Bad Company, Led Zeppelin. American: Allman Brothers especially Live at the Fillmore

Bangers: Deep Purple (Machine Head, Made in Japan), Black Sabbath (Paranoid), Uriah Heep

American kick ass: Alice Cooper (Killer through Billion Dollar Babies), Blue Oyster Cult (Secret Treaties), Grand Funk Railroad (up to "American Band" especially 'Mark, Don and Mel' for a nice overview) certain Black Oak Arkansas

Canada- Rush, BTO

Just for the fun of it: Frijid Pink, early Queen (pre night at the Oprah especially 'Sheer Heart Attack'). Some people get into Pink Floyd pre Dark Side...I can't.

[mikesbbody]

thank guy's and mike that's quite a impressive list! the funny thing is im surprised how many i recognise (maybe there's hope fo me yet) im just so sick of the so called music we get these days...sure, its not all bad but there's alot of crap too.

[mikepmcs]

I'm with you brother!!! Always good music no matter what year.  Whatta you like to hear, that's what I say, whatta you like to hear. 
I'm partial to most those bands, but OZZY is my god!

Bay City Rollers

S A TUR DAY Night.  S A TUR DAY Night.

Well, it's a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows.
So who's in this Pentavirate?
The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, and Colonel Sanders before he went tits up. Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee beady eyes, and that smug look on his face. "Oh, you're gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!"

Dad, how can you hate..the...colonel

Because... he puts an addictive chemical in it that makes you craave it fortnightly smaaaart ass!!!!

[BMOTOXSTAR]

Mike pretty well summed it up. I would recomend some Saxon, Rainbow, Elf and the Misfits as well.  

Saxon Rock ! "Dallas 3:00 P.M." I think that is the name of the Saxon tune that I like.Elf was some of Dio's best music. Very different from Dio but awesome stuff. How about some:
MSG
Ritchie Blackmoore's Rainbow
Starz
UFO

Dallas 1:00 PM and it was on the 1980 "Strong Arm of the Law" LP Awsome song and an awsome album

[BMOTOXSTAR]

Hell yeah, I have that on Vinyl. They played a show here in Cleveland last year. I think it was at "The Bloody Knuckles/Brave Words 6 Pack Weekend Fest".
This guy that has this Cleveland Metal Zine', "Brave Words/Bloody Knuckles" puts the Fest on once a year and has some awesome bands play some one time appearance shows.
That reminds me, how can I forget 80's metal icons "Candlemass" 
They played the fest 3 years ago & did an acoustic set the day before the set at "Alice Cooper's Town" Sports Bar here in Cleveland. Acoustic Candlemass, and I got my Vinyl signed ! It was a 10:30 in the morning show !
